Abigail Adams

Minorities played a huge role during the war, and they were seeking for a reward. In fact, women wanted to be recognized for their contributions in the war. The wife of John Adams, Abigail Adams, sent him a letter while he was on the Constitutional Convention, asking him to please remember the ladies, to take them in account while writing the Constitution. But you know what? The only thing he did was ignore the letter. The only thing women gain was respect, but little by little that will become a big reward. In New Jersey, the widows were allowed to vote, but only in New Jersey the otheer states didn't recognize it. So poor ladies, they did such a hard work and the only reward they get is respect, but I guess that is better than nothing.

Another minority was crashed by the Revolution: the Native Americans. Nobody took them in account, since the Treaty of Paris declared that the Americans could settle westward then all their land was lost. The humble Native Americans lost a vast amount of land due to the war, but there was nothing they could do about it.

The last issue to be resolved was slavery. In the North everything was fine, they passed laws that banned slavery. But  they still had several slaves in the Southern colonies, but many planters began to free them voluntary, this practice was called manumission. Later on, in the Southern states they passed a law discouraging manumission, but still people began to free all their slaves including the 300 slaves George Washington owned from its plantation at Mount Vernon. Little by little, slavery was vanishing.

The Revolution did bring positive effects to the world, it triggered Revolution in several corners around the world,  the idea of liberty was well seen almost everywhere including France, Latin America, and Asia. The idea of liberty, is an idea every human should have, and we should admire the perseverance of the Patriots because in the end they did accomplish what Patrick Henry once said: Liberty or Death.
